well...u should get a better handling and better steering feel because less tirewall flex (which is translated into a mushy unresponsive steering feel)... ur car should also fit 205-50-16 AND 205-55-16 sizes no problem. keep ur 15" rims for snow tires is what i suggest, if u r inclined to go to ski areas or live in winter with snow... just be more mindful if u go on roads that are potholed and watch the curb rash when u parallel park... ur tires won't be thick enough to allow the rim to be above the curb.. with ur stock s70, 16" will not get u a harsh ride... 17" and 18" will imo
